Gaza hospitals overwhelmed as malnutrition crisis worsens

Critical food shortages in Gaza are pushing the overwhelmed healthcare system closer to collapse, as starving Palestinians pour into hospitals. The Health Ministry is warning that unprecedented numbers of people are arriving malnourished and suffering from extreme exhaustion and memory loss. Israel essentially controls food distribution through the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The organisation—which is also backed by the US—opened ONE food site on Friday -- as hunger and malnutrition spread across the strip.
